Indonesia U-23 Coach Keeps Final Squad Under Wraps Amid High Hopes for AFF U-23 2025 Victory
The selection process for Indonesia’s U-23 national team ahead of the AFF U-23 Championship 2025 is intensifying, with coach Gerald Vanenburg officially cutting three players from the training camp roster. While 25 players remain in contention, Vanenburg continues to keep his final squad list confidential, citing concerns over player injuries as a key reason for withholding the announcement. He emphasizes the importance of having a fully fit team before confirming his final choices.
Vandenburg’s focus goes beyond just selecting the best players; he has set ambitious goals for the team. Hosting the tournament at home, the coach aims to instill a winning mentality within the young Garuda squad, treating each match like a mini-final to pursue the ultimate goal of winning the championship. His confidence is clear as he expects the team to compete fiercely and secure victories throughout the tournament.
This upcoming AFF U-23 tournament holds significant strategic value as it serves as a preparatory stage for a more challenging competition later in the year—the AFC U-23 Asian Cup qualifiers scheduled for September 2025. Success at the AFF level would boost the team’s confidence and provide valuable momentum heading into this critical phase.
For Vanenburg, the pursuit of the title is not merely about adding a trophy to the cabinet but about building a strong foundation of confidence and resilience. The experience and mindset cultivated through this competition are seen as essential stepping stones for facing tougher challenges ahead, reinforcing the coach’s long-term vision for Indonesia’s U-23 squad.
